The exhibition "Gorongosa: A Window to Eternity" was one of the ways that the two institutions (Absa Bank and PNG) found to verbalize an alert to raise awareness about the impact of flora and fauna conservation along with human development in the fight against climate change and poverty.
It is a partnership renewed for the third year and has turned challenges into opportunities for more than 200,000 people living in the Park's buffer zone.
Patrícia Guerra, responsible for Gorongosa National Park in the context of this exhibition and the renewal of this partnership, said that "it is a joy to be able to count on partners like Absa, who year after year are committed to these two important causes, biodiversity conservation and human development, which in the end benefit us all in a general way. And we are extremely happy and grateful with this exhibition that allowed us to bring a little bit of Gorongosa to Maputo providing a window to all that TOGETHER we are achieving.''
For his part, Rui Barros, managing director of Absa Bank Mozambique said that the exhibition aims primarily to publicize the efforts that we have been undertaking for the conservation of nature and mainly to encourage people to follow the example and establish a firm friendship with the environment. As we are increasingly becoming a 'green' Bank, we realize that it is possible, in this exercise, to find opportunities that promote the development of communities and the Mozambican economy in general, so we think it is worth giving visibility to our work".
"We are passionate about the projects we embrace and want more and more families to benefit from the different projects, but especially the Gorongosa coffee production, which if we think broadly, feeds a huge value chain, and today is the basis for the subsistence of more than 500 families who grow it," concluded Rui Barros.
